Too Late
SZA Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Too late for us
We're both dangerous
Movin' so close, we combust
Is it bad that I want more?

I been gone so long, I don't know where I'm going
You be on my phone, talkin' 'bout what's my problem
Had to go alone and get it how I want it
Had to be alone to figure out how I should be loved
And if it's just us, is that enough?
Is it bad that I want more?

Is it too late for us? We're both dangerous
Movin' so close, we combust
Is it bad that I want more?
Is it too late for us? We're both scared to love
Movin' so close, we combust
Is it bad that I want more?

See, bust it like a toolie in your waistband
Bust it like that booty too big and you need two hands
Bust it like you catchin' a body and you in G stance
Bust it like it's casual Friday and you here to dance
Call bluff, I know what's up, can't get enough
Is it bad that I want more?

Is it too late for us? We're both dangerous
Movin' so close, we combust
Is it bad that I want more?
Is it too late for us? We're both scared to love
Movin' so close, we combust
Is it bad that I want more?

Mm, pressure, I won't learn my lesson
I want you to stretch it, limit, want you to test it
I know I was born to roll, I gotta know
Is it bad that I want more?

Is it too late for us? We're both dangerous
Movin' so close, we combust
Is it bad that I want more?
Is it too late for us? We're both scared to love
Movin' so close, we combust
Is it bad that I want more?

I'm so done with you, nobody hurt me like you do
Every time you break my heart, it feel new
Every time I fall apart, I call you
I just wanna be loved
Loving sucks




I can't get enough, is it bad that I want more?
Is it too late for us?
